One Step Beyond PC

Colin Curly is a dog that puts Quavers chips above all else in its menu. One evening, playing his favorite game called Push-Over, our hero is pulled into the computer and lands inside it. There he discovers lots of packages of his favourite delicacies. The task of the player, who plays Colin, is to collect chips and return to the normal world. One Step Beyond is a simple continuation of Push-Over, a logic game in which Quavers chips and Colin Curly itself have already appeared. This does not mean, however, that we will have to turn the dominoes over again. This time the authors tried to get an original idea and served it in as usual sensational form.

On each of the dozens of boards that we will come to visit, there are a number of blocks. Colin jumping out of one packet of chips must get to the other, but in order to complete the journey successfully, it is necessary to "close" all the collapses. Of course, in addition to the traditional blocks, on which you can only stand once, there are other special blocks, such as those that open and close from time to time, or those that throw us up and diagonally. An additional difficulty is the elapsed time - for each board we get just a few dozen seconds (sometimes more), so before you complete it, you should plan your way carefully.

One Step Beyond boasts a very nice audiovisual setting. Sceneries may not be as rich as Push-Over, but the animation of the main character and impressive nitro make you think about Red Rat Software's graphics as well as possible. We are also glad that the authors did not give up the codes, which allow us to continue the struggle from the last completed stage. The gameplay is as difficult as in Push-Over and can force grey cells to work hard.
